Yes, yes, that was the joke I was going for.

Since word on the street was that the Davis' sat out last week due to Covid, I have been waiting on this announcement.  Totally saw this one coming.

[Moobs]

On the bright side, we may have infected SMUt.  F- em!

[NorthTexan95]

I just read an entire article on ESPN and not once did they call us North Texas State.  Shocking!

We had positives before and more positives after. I don’t see how we couldn’t have infected some of their players but I bet you regardless they won’t cancel their game against SFA.

I don't know how to feel about this. On one hand even though I don't like them, i feel with Houston for getting every game cancelled. On the other hand it is no good to play Houston, if you are gonna play Houston you are gonna get Covid. It is apparently more important to distance from UH on your schedule than from other human beings 😉

So if all of your games are cancelled will that make you National Champs?

[untbowler]

it is not positive tests per se that caused the cancelling it is the contact tracing and subsequent 14 day quarantine needed for those exposed. CDC guidelines that most are following. 

My daughter unfortunately just got quarantined when the her HS Coach tested positive, so 14 day quarantine to stop any more positive tests. Hopefully the October 3rd games is able to be played

I don't know....the way we tackled..I think SMU players are safe

[gruu]

Our defense is safe from the spread of COVID-19. They did the best job of all teams for their social distancing efforts last week. Must be an issue with our offense.

Excellent post

[Professor Lambeau]

Maybe this was the result of contact tracing due to tackling practice drills? 😆All kidding aside, speedy recovery and minimal positive tests.

I'd guestimate Wren & Co were perfectly happy not to allow 2 weeks in a row of 60+ points to be scored on the beloved Saint Littrell.

Yuuuuuuup

I don't understand how, having 4 guys out last week, we were able to field a team... but still only having 4 confirmed cases, we're unable to field a team this week?

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad we're playing it safe this weekend,  I just don't know what the difference was.

Contact tracing

So I guess this means we owe Houston a home game since they came here last year. I’d be  “woke up with my head sewn to the carpet” surprised if this game is made up this season.

UH is neck and neck with UTD in the race for the national championship!

[NT91]

I think NT and others will only get 3-5 games in 5his season.

It's the AAC Way, claiming National Championships that is.

I don’t think we should assume the Davis boys will be back next week. Depends on the timing and their lung capacity if they were infected. I also hope we are checking hearts as well for those who are infected.
